The sat nav that will be available will most likely be like the Gallardo it wont work in the Us for the 1st year

... I did all the options over a month ago your right they might and don’t hurt the lines of the car. I'll go find the packet when I get home.
Yes I saw that one. But it either looked like Blu Medio Metallico or maybe it was Canna di Fucile Metallico *The original name sounds so much more sexy to me :v*

i have seen two types of aftermarket ones - the sticker/glue type and a magnetized version.
theres also 2 schools of thought on the shields - those who like them and those who dont. the ones that dont like them say they wreck the lines of the car, are similar to how a honda has all those dumb stickers on them and that they take away from the value of the car when going to sell. these people also usually debadge their cars fully and dont want logos and **** all over their cars.
then theres the people who like them. they like the way it screams out "Ferrari" and that is has the racing appeal to it. some get them from the dealer as an option, others go aftermarket so they have the ability to remove later.
as far as the shields being recessed, yes they do come like that to a degree but there are different variations. the 288gto and f40 are models where the shield was completely recessed that leaves the shield flush with the fender and then theres the f355 style that leaves the shield somewhat protruding. im not sure what style the 430 will have.

Flat black
That's interesting, looks like a dark gray. I like. Earlier, when I was referring to flat black, I meant non-metallic black, like MB's 040. I do think that color tends to obscure the curves on cars such as the 360. Looks slick on sedans, though. Nothing like a stealth black E55 or S55.
